Installation ISO for Linux Mint 22.3
Mon Sep 21 13:49:01 CEST 2026
The install ISO does not need a network connection during the installation. Therefore, the option rd.neednet was removed from grub.cfg. You still get an IP address (from DHCP if provided), but it's not mandatory for FAI to wait for an IP address to be assigned.
